Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer01:03

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints01:07

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...
Renal Corpuscle01:20

Renal Corpuscle

The glomerulus and Bowman's capsule are two essential components of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. These microscopic structures play a critical role in the process of blood filtration to produce urine.
Glomerulus: Structure and Function
The glomerulus is a tiny, intricate network of capillaries located at the beginning of the nephron. It's enveloped by the Bowman's capsule and receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole, which divides into numerous capillaries...
The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Renal Synovial Sarcoma (SS) is an exceptionally rare kidney tumor.
  • Fewer than 40 cases of renal SS have been documented in medical literature.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old male presented with abdominal mass and weight loss.
  • Imaging revealed a large left kidney mass; biopsy suggested a primitive neuroectodermal tumor or SS.
  • The final diagnosis was poorly differentiated renal SS, small cell variety.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent chemotherapy and radical nephrectomy for a 22 cm necrotic renal tumor.
  • Histopathology confirmed a neoplasm of immature cells.
  • The patient has survived for 1.8 years post-treatment.

Implications:

  • This case represents the youngest patient diagnosed with renal SS.
  • Renal SS poses significant diagnostic challenges, necessitating integrated clinical, radiological, surgical, and pathological approaches.
  • Accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment are vital for managing this rare malignancy.
